Hi Sam,
Wow- that must have been a horrible car ride..
But, I believe you are a charlatan- and congratulations on that.
Even so, you may be considered a higher risk-what with the undescended history..
I don't know about the biopsy related risk- I would just stay on top of it.

Congrats on the upcoming baby- make sure you finish painting the nursery in time, and try to sleep while you can

Dear all,

I am new and I have only just joined this evening.

I fear that I might shortly be expelled for being a charlatan. (please read on)

I have not currently had testicular cancer.

When I was 3 years old I had an undescended testicle removed. I am now 33 years old. I have lived my entire live with one testicle.

When I was 22, following groin pain I was sent for an ultra sound scan on my remaining right testicle. They found calcium flecking and decided I should have a biopsy...I did.

The biopsy revealed no un-normal information.

Soon I developed a blood clot swelling and ended up with a lump as big as the testile protruding from the incision....Whilst driving to college one day it burst!

Blood soaked boxers are a total horror, believe me!

So since then I have ridden a roller coaster of worry and expectacy. I even read that a biopsied testicle has a higher chance of becoming cancerous. Hopefully this is rubbish!

So you might ask why has this guy joined this group?

There are a couple of answers:

1) There is nowhere else for me to go. I have one testicle and live in fear of losing it.
2) I have tons of experience of living single nutted.
3) I am expecting my 1st child in Feb next year, so for all you chaps who have lost one! Crack on!!!

Thank you for your attention,

Sam
